The king should see that his own spies are not made out by his enemy. He should appoint atheists and ascetics as spies and despatch them to kingdom of his enemies. Sinful thieves, who violate the laws of virtue and who are thorns with every person, enter gardens and places of amusement and houses set up for giving drinking water to thirsty travellers and public restaurants and drinking spots and houses of ill fame and Tirthas and public assemblies. These should be recognised and arrested and suppressed.
